The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world that takes place almost throughout the month of August. Over 40,000 performances, 3,000 shows and artists from as many as 50 countries can be witnessed at this festival. The festival pulls a crowd of about 2 million people. Events and performances such as ballet, opera, plays, comedy, pyrotechnics and much more can be enjoyed by the visitors. As elaborate as this festival may sound it had very humble beginnings back in 1947. Although the festival is jam packed, you will wish to stay at this superlative festival for as long as you can.
